Working Hands is a privately owned hand therapy clinic in Hutt Central, Lower Hutt, on Queens Drive. It also has a site on Riddiford Street in Newtown, Wellington. The clinic focuses on conditions of the hand, wrist and elbow, and it began in 2005 as the first private hand therapy clinic in the southern suburbs. It now has six hand therapists, who are physiotherapists or occupational therapists registered as hand therapists with ACC and Hand Therapy New Zealand. Together they have more than 90 years of experience. The clinic works closely with orthopaedic and plastic surgeons, local GPs, case managers for ACC and private insurers, and other allied health professionals. It treats clients of all ages, and no referral is needed. The clinic can process ACC forms, and for eligible ACC claims the consultation and splinting costs are covered. Work-related claims for gradual process injuries need their forms completed by a GP. Where needed, the clinic can refer on for further tests or specialist care. Our pick in Lower Hutt for a hand, wrist or elbow injury that needs a specialist.
